Harrison Bader Back In Monday's Lineup
4 months agoNew York Mets outfielder Harrison Bader (ankle) is back in center field and is hitting in the nine-hole for the Mets in Monday's series opener against the visiting Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. Bader suffered a sprained ankle last Tuesday in the win over the New York Yankees and missed each of the team's last five games as a result. He's back in there now for fantasy managers, though, but he won't have very much DFS upside at the bottom of the lineup in a tough matchup. The 30-year-old right-handed-hitting outfielder is mostly useful in fantasy for his speed (14 stolen bases). He enters Monday's contest sporting a .263/.301/.402 slash line with eight homers, 36 RBI and 40 runs scored in 281 at-bats. Bader has just two hits in 22 at-bats with seven strikeouts in seven games since July 13.
